Dear Coach or Manager,
The Suffield Soccer Club invites you to apply for
participation in the 21st annual Suffield
Invitational Soccer Tournament. Suffield, CT is located
approximately 15 miles north of Hartford, CT and less
than 10 miles south of Springfield, MA. Suffield is
located less than 5 miles from Bradley International
Airport and our tournament facilities are easily
accessible from I-91 with numerous hotels and
restaurants for your convenience.
The 2009 tournament headquarters will be at the Bruce
Park Sports Complex. Games will also be played at
Suffield High School, Middle School and Sullivan Field.
We take great pride in our reputation for hosting a
competitive tournament as well as family fun and
entertainment. We accommodate many skill levels and have
excellent field quality. We have U9 and U10 divisions
where all participants receive an award. This year’s
tournament will feature two divisions for each age group
U -11 through U -17, a division for Classic/Travel teams
and a division for Select / Premier teams.
In between games, discover New England charm and
hospitality in Connecticut’s Heritage Valley. Enjoy
trolley car rides at the Trolley Museum and walks
through the underground tunnels at the local Old Newgate
Prison and Copper Mine where prisoners were shackled and
chained at night. You can travel through aviation
history as you walk among the scores of fighters,
bombers, helicopters, commercial planes and other
aircraft on a guided tour of the New England Air Museum.
Six Flags - New England is less than 5 miles from
tournament headquarters. Also teams can visit the
interactive Basketball “Hall of Fame”, Yankee Candle
Factory or check out the shops in scenic Northampton,
MA. All these attractions are within a short distance
from Suffield, CT.
